I only want to receive a response on this thread from community
members who are willing to share their patches! Your contribution
to this thread is counter productive.
Ketmar is a noble example that I'd encourage others to follow.
More people like him would bring D out of stagnation.
If answer is yes, you will consider people expectation as much
as a license.
No, I don't consider other people's disparage expectations on
this topic. I consider the orignal author's choice of license. I
am sure he considered the licensing-options and stands for his
own choice. If he does not, then an explanation from the original
author is in place.
We add to the eco system. We don't detract from it.
Bullshit. Any kind of forking wastes most valuable resource
open source world can possibly have - developer attention.
Uhm, no. I would not use D in it's current incarnation so I need
to modify it. Ketmar and I are not DMD developers. We are
currently digging into the code base. Modifying the parser is a
good way to learn the AST. Maybe we one day will become DMD
developers, but this attitude you and others are exposing in this
thread and the bug-report-patch thread aint sexy. It's a turn off.
What you are doing is telling prospective contributors that this
community is about cohesive military discipline. Totalitarian
regimes tend to run into trouble. I most definitely will never
join a cult that expose it as an ideal. I'm not one of your
lieutenants. Sorry.
